Location & Transport
The Grange School is located in the Heart of Cheshire.
IN CONTRAST WITH CITY CENTRE schools our campus, on the very edge of Northwich in Hartford village, is semi-rural, affording a spacious leafy green campus in a calm setting whilst still being served with excellent transport links including mainline train stations, a comprehensive bus service and proximity to major roadways.
Travelling by car
THE SCHOOL IS LOCATED JUST over half a mile from the A556 Northwich by-pass if travelling from the Manchester direction/East, and around 1.5 miles if travelling from the Chester direction/West.

Our Transport Service
THE SCHOOL OFFERS A SAFE, reliable and efficient travel service to a number of locations across Cheshire including, Altrincham, Chester, Crewe, Frodsham, Kelsall/Tarporley, Knutsford, Nantwich and Wychwood Park. The service which is available and appropriate for the use of all our young people, aged 4-18, is provided by local, well-respected travel companies.
Drivers are DBS approved and where possible remain the dedicated driver on a particular route. Journey costs vary depending upon the location. Travel times are continually reviewed to keep them as short as possible and, without the congestion city-centres suffer from, it can be quicker getting here than somewhere closer to home, in some cases.
This is a private bus service for the use of The Grange School only and members of the public cannot, and do not, use the service.

The Grange Transport How To Guide The Grange Transport Passenger App Handbook Parents wishing to use our transport system on a regular basis (rather than an ad-hoc booking) can make their regular booking online. |
| Contactless bus fobs |
| Every pupil regularly travelling on a school coach will be issued with a contactless fob. Swiping the fob on a device held by the driver will quickly register their entry to and exit from the coach. This works on a live feed and enables parents to track the route of their particular coach via the Vectare site on their mobile phone. Should a coach be running late, a notification will be sent to parents advising them of the delay. |
